Summary/Abstract: The article examines Kantian influences in contemporary philosophy of religion through John Hick’s pluralistic hypothesis and its interpretation and critique by Keith Ward. Drawing on Kant’s distinction between noumenon and phenomenon, Hick interprets religious traditions as diverse responses (phenomenon) to an ineffable absolute Reality (noumenon). Ward largely accepts this framework but criticizes its excessive indeterminacy, proposing instead a revisionary pluralism that re-evaluates religious doctrines within historical, cultural, and rational contexts.
